Magnus holds a master’s degree in economics from NTNU, with a strong background in data analysis, quality assurance, and public sector governance. His thesis, written in collaboration with the Norwegian savings bank alliance Lokalbank, explored the impact of macroeconomic factors on loan defaults using panel data and fixed effects models.

He has worked on projects across sectors including public property, energy, and digitalization, gaining a solid understanding of how regulation affects different market actors. At Vista Analyse, he has contributed to economic impact assessments for Norway’s renewable energy sector, quality assurance of major construction projects in the higher education sector, and a feasibility study on self-produced solar power at an airport in Romania—combining business and socio-economic perspectives.

Magnus also has hands-on experience with financial reporting, payment systems, and strategic communication from his time as a debt advisor at Intrum. Additionally, he interned at Oslobygg KF’s property analysis department, working with data collection and quality assessments aligned with municipal standards.

He is highly skilled in quantitative methods and experienced in qualitative research through interview-based work. With a broad and adaptable background, Magnus approaches complex problems methodically and quickly familiarizes himself with new systems and policy frameworks.
